Chapter Seventy-Six: Survival of the Fittest
Strode into the palace, although Ling Chen had never been to the palace of the prison on weekdays, but he did not get lost in the palace, it was his own backyard, no one led the way for him, so he came to the palace of the palace, the most central hall, the chief secretary, the room with a thousand scales red. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info has already informed Thousand Scales Crimson, without any courtesy, arrogantly pushed open the door of Thousand Scales Crimson.
The spacious room was empty, more like a dojo for martial arts training than a room, and Thousand Scales sat on one side of the room, with a huge calligraphy and painting in front of her.
Ling Chen walked behind him, looked at the calligraphy and paintings on the wall, frowned, he had learned the beast language, but he didn't understand the words on it: "What is this?"
"It is the ancient saying of our family, in human terms, it means survival of the fittest, and it is also the training of our family!"
"Do you still have an old saying?"
"Red, since ancient times, it has been the most arrogant color in the beast clan, red, this is the most authentic red, our crimson clan was originally one of the oldest and most powerful families in the fox family!"
"So why are you here? β
"In the Hundred Years' War, some clans stood out in the Hundred Years' War, such as your Resroth family, which became the royal family of the human race, and there are also families that were annihilated in the Hundred Years' War, and my Crimson Clan is one of them. In the war between the canine and cat clans, both clans were taken advantage of by the herdsmen, and our Crimson clan was one of the main targets of the herdsmen's attack. After that battle, our Crimson Clan was nearly wiped out. β
Ling Chen sat behind Thousand Scales Crimson, looking at the calligraphy and paintings on the wall, is the fittest survive?, I don't object: "That's why you came to Resnot from the Oak Kingdom." β
"After all, a new family has taken our place on the side of the Orc Kingdom, and we have become a symbol of weakness in the eyes of the other clansmen. β
Ling Chen nodded silently, he had been to the canine tribe of the Orc Kingdom, and knew how to be treated as weak in such a country that believed in strength.
"Actually, I was very lucky, when I came to Resnot, I was competing for the last prince, and I was on the right side to help your father ascend to the throne!!"
Although Ling Chen doesn't know much about Cao Le's story, he has heard a little about it since he was a child. The prime minister and the general have never participated in the competition for the prince, after all, since Resnot I, the Standi family and the Berserker family have been the most loyal supporters of Resnot. Although in his own generation, the relationship between Ryukfeng and Steinty is very close to him, but Ling Chen believes that if he finally ascends the throne by Oath, RyΕ«feng will still wholeheartedly assist Oathfall. As for the position of the general director, in Cao Le's battle for the prince, the thousand scales in front of him have helped Cao Le many times with his intelligence, it can be said that without the thousand scales, I am afraid that the king of Resnot today is already someone else. Therefore, after Cao Le was crowned king, he also gave Thousand Scales the supreme favor, although he was a foreigner, he still handed over the position of the head secretary to him, making him one of the three ministers of Resnot: "It's just that now it seems that the favor that Your Majesty has given you can no longer satisfy you." β
"No, I know that His Majesty has given me enough to a foreigner like me. But Your Highness, the Crimson family is the oldest and noblest family of my fox clan, do you know how determined I was to leave my hometown in the first place? My goal is not simply to be in the third element, what I hope is to be able to return my family to the glory of the past. β
Although Ling Chen had roughly guessed it, after saying it from his mouth, he was still a little bold.
The chief secretary turned around and looked at Ling Chen: "I think there has always been such a question in His Highness's heart, why do I still want to participate in this competition for the prince even though I am already ranked in the third yuan, maybe in the eyes of ordinary people, I will not benefit at all, and I will be involved in an unprovoked turmoil, right?"
Ling Chen nodded lightly: "I originally wanted to persuade and quit, but it seems that it is impossible to succeed." β
"For me, there is no difference between quitting and failing. I'm running out of time. The chief secretary paused: "Your Highness, you should understand His Highness Oath, although you are now the same opponent as him, but from the bottom of his heart, he always treats you as a family member." He didn't know anything about the assassination of you, it was all planned by me alone. He doesn't want to hurt you at all. β
"It turns out that I don't know that because of his relationship, I have suffered a lot of sins since I was a child!"
"Your Highness, give up and continue to be your former Prince of Anle. I can feel that your goal is not to share a throne, and now that you quit, I believe that His Highness will not embarrass you. β
He was telling the truth, but since the day Ling Chen decided to become the king, he hadn't thought about giving up: "What if I can't?"
"Does Your Highness really want to fight to the death with His Highness the Oath?"
"Then why is it that I'm the one who gives up? and not the oath?"
"His Royal Highness Sworn Fall has been preparing for the election of the king for too long, and he has carried too many people's expectations, not that he can put it down!" Thousand Scales looked at Ling Chen, and said with the eyes of an elder: "Moreover, Your Highness, with all due respect, with your current strength alone, Your Highness is not the opponent of Your Highness Sworn Fall!"
"So if you join?" Ling Chen suddenly said: "What you want, whether it is an oath or me, as long as you are crowned king in the end, it can actually be given to you, since you can't quit, then I hope you can help me!!"
"Your Highness, I should have said that you are not the opponent of His Highness the Oath now, why should I give up His Highness the Oath to assist you?"
Ling Chen's face did not change, and his eyes looked directly at Thousand Scales: "The Crimson Blade is an assassination team formed by the fox clan. Its core mission is to help His Highness Oath Fall eradicate some of the people who hinder His Highness from ascending to the throne. Over the years, countless officials have been removed by Crimson Blade. And the leader of the Crimson Blade is you, Thousand Scales Crimson!!"
Thousand Scales' red complexion didn't change much: "I don't know what you're talking about!"
Ling Chen took out a stack of letters from his arms: "This is what the bounty hunter found in a nearby wooden house when he first fought with Crimson Blade, although your men wanted to destroy the evidence, but the fire did not swallow your letters with them, I have already asked people to check the handwriting on it, it is from your hand." As for the contents of the letters, do you want to take a closer look?"
Qianlu took the letter, looked at it, and shook his head secretly: "These children are still lost in their work. After speaking, he returned the letter to Ling Chen: "So what you want is to pull me down with this?"
"It is written in the code of Resnot that unless it is a local lord or a royal family, the rest of the people have no right to form a private organization, although you are in the third yuan, but there is no back cover, just from the formation of the Crimson Blade, you have already violated the laws of Resnot. Secondly, what your Crimson Blade has done has seriously endangered the security of Resnot. With these two points alone, I think it's enough to abolish your ownership, not to mention that you're still a ...... alien."
"So if people find out, I'm afraid that I will be executed directly without even having a chance to defend myself, right?" Thousand Scales looked at Ling Chen with a red face: "So Your Highness is here to threaten me?"
Ling Chen shook his head, walked to the candlestick on the side with the letter, and burned the letter in his hand directly without hesitation: "I'm just showing you my strength." What can kill you in this way, since I can find the first time, then I can find the second. β
"Your Highness, don't scare me, you and I both understand that you won't make a move on me, otherwise we wouldn't be talking here like we are now. Just because I am a foreigner, and His Highness's candidacy concept happens to be racial unity, if a high-ranking foreigner like me suddenly commits so many crimes, it will undoubtedly be fatal to His Highness's election!"
"You're right!" Ling Chen nodded: "I've already shown you my strength, and now it's time to threaten you." β
Thousand Scales frowned. Ling Chen looked into her eyes: "As you said, for the sake of the king's choice, I really can't do anything to you, but I can promise you that once the oath is crowned king, it is the moment when these things are made public, and you also said that the oath is a person who attaches great importance to blood, do you dare to gamble, will the oath protect you, or will it only treat you as a foreigner and eradicate you?"
"You!" Thousand Scales stood up, looking at Ling Chen with some anger in his eyes, "What do you mean?"
"My meaning is very simple, that is, you can continue to assist the oath, but the moment the oath succeeds, it is the moment your fame lands!!" Ling Chen looked at the calligraphy and painting behind Qian Scale: "The so-called survival of the fittest, meaning, is to adapt to the changes of the times, from the time I decided to join the king's election, you should have felt that the wind direction has changed!"
Thousand Scales didn't answer Ling Chen immediately, and was silent.
Ling Chen stood up: "It just so happens that the oath is not in the royal capital now, you can think about it." I'm not going to force you, Lady Director-General, but there was a sentence I wanted you to understand. β
Thousand Scales looked at him.
"If you live in Rennott now, it has nothing to do with me to revive your family, but if you stand in my way, then I will eradicate you. The corners of Ling Chen's mouth curled slightly: "Those who follow me prosper and those who disobey me die!!"
